حَدَّثَنَا يَعْمَرُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلّ
َى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ بَرَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ بَرَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ بَرَّ أَبَاكَ

Ya'mar ibn Bishr narrated to us, Abdullah narrated to us, he said Yahya ibn Ayyub informed us, he said Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: A bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Direct me to a deed that, if I do it, I will enter Paradise.' He said: 'Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayer, pay the obligatory zakah, and fast Ramadan.' The man said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will not add anything to this.' When the man turned away, the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever is pleased to look at a man of the people of Paradise, let him look at this man.'
